Hi Linda...hope you return soon. While I used a ship excursion, I do understand that there are several reliable tour companies that can do almost anything you want! Wish I had more info....others here might know, but you can alsways check out the Tourism Board site for Costa Rica....

We need to get an answer to Linda's question.........we are doing this same port in october and would like to know myself.

TerilynnS · 02-03-2006, 06:25 PM

Let me see what I can do......

isujim · 02-03-2006, 06:29 PM

We appreciate you!

I can't believe it. I've got to take some kind of brain pill. This is the THIRD time I've had to type this because I keep clicking on the wrong page (Me. Doofus!)

OK. Here are some sites: Let me paste them first....

The official site:
http://www.visitcostarica.com/ict/pa...asp?ididioma=2

A couple of private tour companies:
http://adventure-costarica.com/
http://www.vacationscostarica.com/

and the Tree house site: (Only included because accquaintances of mine did this and LOVED it.)
http://www.treehouseshotelcostarica....FRdzSAodKitLqA

OK - They're all there now. I haven't used any of these companies. (However, we are thinking of using them on our cruise in March 07!) Also, the CR government recently passed new tighter regulations for tour companies operating there. Make sure any one you use is officially sanctioned by the tourist board before you contract with them! If I come accross any more I will post 'em!

Thank you so much.......I will check out the tour companies tomorrow.......just what I was looking for..........you go on the frubal list

Thanks, Terilynn, for all of your research.

I will also check out the sites tomorrow. Right now I have to get some sleep!

We did the same thing, and I thought exactly the same thing. This was my favorite port stop, and I want to go back!!!!
